Her current efforts with the Hobbs Lab revolve around the Longfin Smelt Project – field work conducting tows and surveys and lab work preparing otoliths for aging and Strontium isotope analysis. In her free time, Alyssa enjoys volunteer diving at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, camping, hiking, fishing, and going to the beach.
